Write an equation in standard form of the line that contains the point (-1,2) amd is perpendicular to y = 3x - 1

Since it is perpendicular to y=3x-1, the slope must be a negative reciprocal.
there the slope of the perpendicular line is

So now we have, 


To find b, we use the point that the line passes through and substitute it to the y and x values.



which would give us b=5/3

Therefore, the equation of the line is
